Our Christmas Card

Change - the best way to summarize our year,
Here's what we've been up to if you want to hear...

The year started with Tim feeling a little bit stressed;
Lots of tests and requirements in the dental school mess!
One of the miracles is that our house sold.
In this housing market it's rare, so we're told.
The next day, Gavin John came to the Earth.
What a perfect baby and fairly smooth birth!
A few weeks later dental graduation came;
Dr. Jessop did well for the family name!
Quickly out of our house, and handing off keys,
Off to Idaho we moved, close to our families.
The change slows down there, but doesn't stop-
The kids keep on growing and changing a lot!

Dylan loves to create and is already five.
With pens, paper and glue he brings all things alive!
He is a pleaser at heart and a good help to his mother,
Definitely loves the role of big brother!

Easton is two and sure acts his age!
Some days might be easier if he's kept in a cage!
He melts mom's heart with his eyes of blue,
And his conversation skills seem way above two.

At seven months Gavin loves to laugh,
And he finds few things better than taking a bath!
He follows the boys with his army crawl.
He's tested the stairs and had a fall.

With Tim's AEGD and Melissa home with the kids,
We're staying quite busily engaged as it is.
We have only 6 months left in Idaho,
From there we have no clue where we will go.
We're excited for the future and knowing a plan,
We know things will work out the best they can.

We love our Savior and this time of year,
We hope you all feel his love and cheer.

With Love,
Tim, Melissa, Dylan, Easton and Gavin
